What Sizes of Storage Containers Are Available?
Taunton Porta Pros stocks two core sizes: the 20ft storage container and the 40ft storage container. The 20-footer suits a kitchen remodel, a roofing job, or a homeowner clearing out a garage. The 40-footer handles bigger loads: a full renovation, a commercial buildout, or a construction crew that needs weatherproof lockup for tools and materials over months, not weeks. Both are steel-built, weather sealed, and set on a flat, stable spot near your driveway or work zone. If you're not sure which size fits your project, storage container rental cost breaks down the tradeoffs by job type. Contractors juggling several site needs at once often pair a container with a roll-off dumpster rental for debris and a temporary fence rental to secure the perimeter. For projects needing a working office instead of just storage, a mobile office trailer rental is worth a look too.
How Much Does Storage Container Rental Cost in Taunton?
Monthly rates for a storage container run 100 to 250 dollars, based on our pricing data across the region. Here's how that breaks down:
| Unit | Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Storage container | Month | $100 | $125 | $250 |
That's the full band: smaller units and longer commitments trend toward the lower end, while larger footprints and short-notice delivery push toward the top. There's no daily or weekly rate published for storage containers here, because these units are built for month-to-month use, not weekend jobs. If you're comparing options against a storage container rental cost page or shopping rates from a search for "storage container rental price," the number to remember is the monthly band above.

Self Storage Container vs Portable Storage Container Rental: What's the Difference?
A self storage container sits at a facility; you drive to it. A portable storage container rental comes to you, dropped in your driveway, job site, or lot. Taunton Porta Pros only does the portable kind, which is closer to what most people mean when they search pods storage container rental or pod storage container rental. The container becomes a fixed, secure box on your property for as long as you need it, no trips required. This matters most for contractors on active builds who need tools onsite every morning, and for homeowners mid-renovation who don't want to haul boxes across town. Pair it with construction site services or a temporary power pole if the job needs electricity nearby. For events or short-term needs, an event restroom rental or restroom trailer rental covers the sanitation side while the container covers storage.
Where Can I Place a Storage Container in Taunton?
Placement depends on your lot, your driveway width, and whether the container sits on pavement or ground. Taunton Porta Pros checks clearance before delivery, since these units need a flat, solid surface to sit level. If you're near Bridgewater Town, about 12.4 miles northeast, or Easton, roughly 12.5 miles north, delivery logistics are similar to inside Taunton itself: a straight, unobstructed path for the truck matters more than exact distance. Roll-off deliveries specifically need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and container drop-offs follow the same general rule. If your property backs onto a shared driveway or narrow alley, mention that when you request a quote, since it changes where the container can land. For placement questions related to portable toilets on the same site, see the porta potty placement guide.
Do I Need a Permit for a Storage Container in Taunton?
Placement in the public right of way, meaning on a street or city easement rather than your own driveway or lot, needs confirming with the City of Taunton before delivery. We don't publish permit numbers or fees here because those rules and costs vary and change, and guessing at them does you no favors. If your container needs to sit anywhere near a road, curb, or sidewalk, call the city first. For a broader look at how permitting works with other rented equipment, the dumpster permit requirements page and porta potty permit requirements page cover the general shape of the process, even though the container itself follows its own path with the city.
Can I Rent a Storage Container Alongside Other Site Equipment?
Yes, and most of our contractor customers do exactly that. A typical construction site in Taunton might combine a storage container with a construction dumpster rental, a handwashing station rental to meet OSHA 1926.51(a)(1)'s requirement for potable water at the worksite, and a standard porta potty rental for crew sanitation under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1)'s toilet ratio rules. If your crew works with paints, coatings, or solvents, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific exposure, which a portable sink rental satisfies alongside the storage unit. Renovation projects often need a home renovation porta potty plus a container for tools and fixtures pulled out mid-job. Larger commercial sites sometimes add light tower rental or temporary power pole service to keep work going after dark. Whatever the combination, Taunton Porta Pros delivers it as one coordinated drop rather than several separate trucks showing up on different days.
How long can I rent a storage container?
There's no fixed cap. Most Taunton customers rent month to month, which is how the pricing is structured, and many keep a container for the length of a full renovation or build. Short jobs sometimes run a single month; longer commercial projects extend for several. Talk to Taunton Porta Pros about your timeline.
What size storage container do I need?
Depends on the job. A single-room remodel or garage cleanout usually fits in a 20ft storage container. Full home renovations, commercial fit-outs, or multi-phase construction jobs usually call for a 40ft storage container. If you're unsure, describe the project when you request a quote and we'll size it right.
Does the container need a permit to sit in my driveway?
Usually not, if it stays fully on your private property. Placement in the street or right of way is different and needs confirming with the City of Taunton first. When in doubt, ask before delivery rather than after.
How is a storage container different from a mobile office trailer?
A storage container holds materials and equipment. A mobile office trailer rental gives your crew a place to work, plan, and take breaks. Some sites rent both: one for gear, one for people. They serve different jobs even when they sit side by side.
Is delivery available outside Taunton?
Yes. Taunton Porta Pros delivers to towns nearby, including Attleboro at roughly 13.2 miles west and North Attleborough Town at about 15.7 miles west. Check service areas for the full coverage map, or contact us directly with your address.
